Morphological variability is a basic characteristic of all species from Protista through the vertebrates and is the critical factor allowing their evolution as their environment changes. Probably, most of the known species of hemoparasites have been poorly described in terms of their variable morphological characters visible under light microscopy. This is unlikely to change as variation among genomes replaces visible morphological characters as...
